I only got this one because I couldn't get the name I wanted.

Personally I can't get enough of "By the Sea."  It's a sweet little drawing room ditty, until you look at the staging and get to the last line.  Sweeney is completely disinterested, Tobias slowly realizing something is wrong, and Lovett casually dropping in murder for old times sake.  Even the brief moments of peace…

I've always told people I find Angela Lansbury terrifying.  Most grew up with her as a kindly old detective.  I saw Sweeney Todd, Manchurian Candidate, and Gypsy.  The woman can turn Machiavellian in an instant.

Hawkeye got me reading comics again for the first time in 20 years.  Also, I'm absolutely tickled that fans are calling him "Hawkguy."  That was the line that sold me on the book.

No, no Chicago Hope.  I want Pickett Fences.  Or a look at the revival of Fantasy Island.  Anything Fyvush Finkel really.

Exactly what happened with me.  I think she's a brilliant writer but sometimes she is very cruel to her characters.  I can handle cruelty if it has a larger narrative role but if she had one in mind she didn't get it across.

As I posted below, there are moments that I found her to be too cruel to the children that were her subjects for how low the stakes in some of the stories were.  When all of her talents are working, as in "Haunting Olivia" or "Out to Sea," she's among the best there is.  When, or if, she gains some discipline she's…

St Lucy's is a series of stories about children running up against the world of Adults and often failing.  I loved, loved some of the stories but there was an underlying cruelty to the fate of some of the children that left me devastated.  SPOILER Trapped in a shell?  Left to die on a glacier? END SPOILER The fates of…

Someone needs to make it a web series.

That sounds about right.  Even in the latter seasons she was the sweet, innocent one.  They are playing that up a little more now and I wish they would add a few of the layers back but it's not inconsistant with the character's growth.

I enjoyed it, but I didn't laugh.  I think I'm at the pint where I simply like hanging out with the characters.  They make me smile - sometimes more, sometimes less, but I always smile when I'm with them.

I believe instead of "No" you meant to say "I disagree, but what people find funny is both personal and subjective."

Yes, but the revelation about why he needs the mirror may have been better than any cameo he could have done.

I've never circled back this far to write about something.  This is awful.  Are we sure that one of the shows Jack was using to try to tank NBC didn't slip into the real world?

Sandler's career at this point is a cautionary story about evolving your style or dying.

Nathan's likely correct, but you know even it the Tulip wasn't the letter Walter was talking about it's possible that he sent it from the alternate timeline.  Why?

If he hasn't been considered so yet, Walter Bishop and John Noble must have by now made their way into the rarefied camp of Sci-Fi heroes.  Yeah, right up there with the Kirk and The Doctor.  At it's center the show was the redemption arc of a very flawed, wounded man, and sometimes amoral man.  Walter found his soul,…

Pheh!

For a while he started his concerts with "Funeral/Love" because it was guaranteed to get people on their feet.  It's may be the tightest 11 minute song ever made.  It's all build, yet the energy slows at just the right points where you need to catch a breath and tune changes enough to keep it interesting.  One can…
